    This Strawberry Cheesecake Parfait is a quick and easy summertime dessert recipe. This no bake recipe is made of layers of sweetened strawberries, cheese, jam, and crushed vanilla cookies.

    I love to serve Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits in individual serving dishes so each one is a pretty addition to the summertime dessert table.

    Semi Homemade No Bake Desserts

    I love having tried and true no bake dessert recipes on hand. While this dessert makes a great appearance on summer dessert tables, I am willing to enjoy this year round. Keeping the kitchen cool in the summer is my aim, and having something quick and easy year round is a bonus! Two of my favorites are this Strawberry Cheesecake Parfait and Pina Colada Pie!

    This no bake dessert is a creamy rich parfait made with a sweetened cream cheese ricotta blend layered with sweetened strawberries and crushed vanilla wafer cookies. All layers come together easy and after sitting in the fridge for a couple of hours, the flavors come together rather deliciously!

    Fresh Strawberries

    Reduced Fat Cream Cheese

    Part Skim Ricotta Cheese

    Sugar

    Strawberry Jam, if your not making your own jam, then this low sugar brand is a good one to use (it's my favorite).

    Vanilla Wafer Cookies, this is the cookie to buy!

    Whipped Cream

    Strawberry Cheesecake Parfait in a stemless wine glass.

    🍽 Equipment

    Electric hand mixer, this is the one I use and I've had it forever!

    Large mixing bowl, this is a set similar to what I use.

    Mini trifle bowls or stemless wine glasses. I like these wine glasses that are rounder and wider.

    👪 Serving size

    This recipe can feed 4-6 people depending on appetite. Nutrition information is calculated at 4 servings per recipe.

    🔪 Instructions

    Step 1 (Mix):

    1. In a medium mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, mix the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, and sugar until smooth. Refrigerate.
    2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the strawberry jam and strawberries. Set aside.

    Step 2 (Layer):

    Spoon ¼ cup of strawberry mixture into each 8 ounce parfait glass. Layer with 2 tablespoons of ricotta mixture, 2 tablespoons of cookie crumbs, 2 tablespoons of ricotta mixture, ¼ cup strawberry mixture and 1 tablespoon of whipped topping.

    Measuring glass with fresh cut strawberries and a white towel in the background decorated with strawberries and kiwi prints.

    💭 Top Tips

    • Be sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. Cold cream cheese will not blend in well with the ricotta.
    • Hand mixing can be done, but it will not be as smooth as it would be by mixing with an electric hand mixing.
    • Be sure to buy a good quality ricotta cheese. A runny ricotta will make the cheesecake filling too loose.

    📖 Variations

    • If your into homemade jams, this Homemade Berry Rhubarb Jam or Mixed Berry Jam Recipe are both delicious substitutes for strawberry jam.
    • Substitute mixed berries or fresh pitted cherries for the strawberries.
    • Make homemade shortbread star cookies and substitute for the vanilla wafers.
